The Kerala High Court Thursday dismissed an anticipatory bail plea filed by Malayalam actor Kollam Thulasi in a case against him for allegedly making provocative anti-women remarks during a Sabarimala protest organised by the BJP-led NDA in the state.

He was also booked under Section 119A of the Kerala Police Act, which deals with sexual gestures or acts in public places degrading the dignity of women.

The Kerala State Women's Commission had registered a case against Thulasi.

On September 28 last year, the Supreme Court allowed women of all ages to enter the temple, saying that "no physiological and biological factor can be given legitimacy if it doesn't pass the test of conditionality".
